The entry point for Alex Head’s eponymous labels. Made from the barrel cull of the 15 Barossa vineyards he works with, with many sites in the cooler Eden Valley sub-region.

Head Wines, Head Red, Shiraz, Barossa, 2018

Considered and modern but undeniably Barossa: Juicy and vibrant with purple/black fruits and lovely dark earthy mocha grounding. Offers plenty of piquant peppery spice and mesh tight tannins. Excellent value.

RRP: $25
Alc: 14.5%
